Yes, Chris was quite right ;)
I got the beast working now and booting cleanly with the 2.4.20-powerpc
kernel from Sarge. The key was the `video=ofonly' in the boot-file
parameter set with nvsetram... It looks to be quite a nice little
workstation when running Sarge.
Unfortunately, discover prevents the thing from booting with the 2.4
kernel. Removing discover solved the problem, but it had been causing a
hard lock-up on boot (although, strangely, no problems with the 2.2
kernel).
If anyone is working with a similar box in the future and wants to
e-mail me, feel free...
